Book Synopsis
The quickest way to get rich is to marry someone rich, but how do you do this if you aren't yet rich? TV chat-show host Ronnie Appleyard is preoccupied with this question as he pursues wealthy heiress Simona Quick over two continents. But as he comes closer to his prize other questions present themselves. Is the androgenous Simona really worth it?

Trade Review
Brings all the earlier works into focus. Amis is still master of the comedy of irrelevance. The novel is funny because it is serious. It is also wonderfully readable * Anthony Burgess *
Wickedly entertaining * Sunday Times *
